  • the lower frame 22 When fixing the lower frame 22 of the deflector 12 to the front housing 15 , the lower frame 22 is mounted from the upper side and arranged between the vertical wall 16 and the two rear restriction walls 19 , and the insertion projection 25 is inserted into the insertion hole 18 a from the rear of the vehicle. Further, the two holding projections 24 are respectively inserted into the two holding holes 16 a while elastically deforming the lower frame 22 in the vehicle widthwise direction so that the lower surface 23 a of the two coupling arms 23 contact the upper surface 17 a of the two bases 17 . Consequently, displacement of the lower frame 22 relative to the front housing 15 is restricted in the front-to-rear direction, the vehicle widthwise direction, and the vertical direction. Further, pivoting of the lower frame 22 about the front holding projections 24 is restricted.
  • the present embodiment has the following advantages.
  • the two holding projections 24 are respectively inserted into the two holding holes 16 a while elastically deforming the lower frame 22 in the vehicle widthwise direction. This restricts displacement of the lower frame 22 in the front-to-rear direction, the vehicle widthwise direction, and the vertical direction. As a result, the coupling efficiency of the lower frame 22 can be improved.
  • Displacement of the lower frame 22 may be restricted relative to the front housing 15 in the front-to-rear direction, the vehicle widthwise direction, and the vertical direction without the need to perform a process such as screw fastening or sewing like in the prior art. Further, costs can be reduced.
  • the lower frame 22 may pivot around the holding projections 24 when receiving external forces such as winds. However, the pivoting can be restricted by the base 17 (upper surface 17 a ) that contacts the lower surface 23 a of the coupling arm 23 . This limits separation of the holding projections 24 from the holding holes 16 a and limits removal of the lower frame 22 (deflector 12 ) from the front housing 15 .
  • the lower frame 22 contacts the bases 17 at the rear of the holding projections 24 . This effectively restricts pivoting of the lower frame 22 (and prevents separation of the lower frame 22 ) that tends to follow the expansion of the deflector 12 .
  • Pivoting of the lower frame 22 about the projections 24 may be restricted, without the need to perform a process such as screw fastening or sewing like in the prior art. Further, costs can be reduced.
  • the bases 17 that restrict pivoting of the lower frame 22 are arranged at locations corresponding to the two extending direction end portions of the lower frame 22 , that is, the vicinity of the location where the two bent, springs 31 cause pivoting and biasing. This further ensures pivot restriction of the lower frame 22 .
  • the insertion projection 25 inserted into the insertion hole 18 a further ensures pivot restriction of the lower frame 22 about the holding projection 24 and further ensures prevention of separation of the holding projection 24 from the holding hole 15 a.
  • the insertion projection 25 inserted into the insertion hole 18 a can restrict displacement of the lower frame 22 relative to the front housing 15 toward the front of the vehicle and in the vertical direction.
  • Pivoting of the lower frame 22 may be restricted about the holding projection 24 and displacement of the lower frame 22 may be restricted relative to the front housing 15 toward the front of the vehicle and in the vertical direction without the need to perform a process such as screw fastening or sewing like in the prior art. Further, costs can be reduced.
  • the lower frame 22 receives a biasing force when the two flexible portions 26 are each pressed against the front housing 15 . This keeps the insertion projection 25 in contact with the upper wall surface in the insertion hole 18 a . Thus, pivot restriction of the lower frame 22 around the holding projection 24 is further ensured.
  • Displacement of the lower frame 22 may be restricted toward the lower side without the need to perform a process such as screw fastening or sewing like in the prior art. Further, costs can be reduced.
  • the rear end surface of the lower frame 22 contacts the rear restriction wall 19 at the locations of the two flexible portions 26 in the extending direction of the lower frame 22 . This restricts displacement of the lower frame 22 toward the rear of the vehicle.
  • Displacement of the lower frame 22 may be restricted toward the rear of the vehicle without the need, to perform a process such as screw fastening or sewing like in the prior art. Further, costs can be reduced.
  • the insertion projection 25 in the extending direction middle portion of the lower frame 22 and the two flexible portions 26 sandwiching the insertion projection 25 in the extending direction middle portion of the lower frame 22 alternately interfere with the front housing 15 in the vertical direction. This reduces displacement of the lower frame 22 in the vertical direction in a further balanced manner.
  • pivot rods (rods 29 a ) for the upper frame 27 of the deflector 12 are formed integrally with the arms 29 to reduce the number of components. This reduces costs.
  • coupling portions (support projections 29 b ) for the bent springs 31 are formed integrally with the arms 29 to reduce the number of components. This reduces costs.
  • the two short-side direction terminal portions of the mesh member 21 are respectively embedded in the upper frame 27 and the lower frame 22 .
  • This can integrate and fix the two terminal portions when, for example, the upper frame 27 and the lower frame 22 are molded from, a resin.
  • the number of components and the manufacturing processes can be reduced to a larger extent than when, for example, the upper frame 27 and the lower frame 22 are coupled to the mesh member 21 by a coupling means.
  • At least one of the upper frame 27 and the lower frame 22 can be coupled to the corresponding terminal, portion of the mesh member 21 by a coupling means.
  • the bent spring 31 can be held by an additional support pin or the like instead of the support projection 29 b of the arm 29 .
  • the bent spring 31 may be held on the guide rail 14 .
  • the bent spring 31 may be held by a bracket fixed to the roof 10 .
  • a torsion coil spring may be used instead of the bent spring 31 .
  • the arm 29 (upper frame 27 ) may be pivotally coupled by an additional support rod or the like instead of the rod 29 a of the arm 29 .
  • the support rod may be held on the guide rail 14 (or the bracket fixed to the roof 10 ).
  • the arm 29 may include a rod hole that supports the support rod.
  • the layout of the insertion projection 25 and the flexible portion 26 in the extending direction of the lower frame 22 is one example.
  • two insertion projections 25 (and insertion holes 18 a ) may be arranged symmetrically at the middle portion in the extending direction of the lower frame 22
  • two flexible portions 26 (and rear restriction walls 19 ) may be arranged symmetrically at the middle portion in the extending direction of the lower-frame 22 to sandwich the two insertion projections 25 .
  • a further flexible portion 26 (and rear restriction wall 19 ) may be arranged between two insertion projections 25 in the extending direction middle portion of the lower frame 22 .
  • the flexible portions 26 of the lower frame 22 may be omitted, so that the lower surface of the lower frame 22 , which is mounted from the upper side between the vertical wall 18 and the rear restriction wall 19 , is abut against or located near the front housing 15 .
  • the rear restriction wall 19 may be omitted regardless of whether the flexible portion 26 is present.
  • pivoting of the lower frame 22 may be restricted by engagement, of, for example, a hook arranged on one of the lower frame 22 and the front housing 15 and a hooked portion arranged on the other of the lower frame 22 and the front housing 15 .
  • the insertion projection 25 (and insertion hole 18 a ) may be omitted.
  • the holding projection 24 of the lower frame 22 may be molded into a non-circular shape, and the holding hole 16 a to which the holding projection can be fitted may be formed in the stay 16 . That is, the fitting structure of the holding projection and the holding hole may serve as a pivot stopper. In this case, the pivot stopper further ensures pivot restriction of she lower frame 22 when arranged at the two extending direction end portions of the lower frame 22 , that is, arranged in the vicinity of a location where pivoting is biased by the two bent springs 31 .
  • a pivot stopper (such as the base 17 ) that restricts pivoting of the lower frame 22 may be arranged at the extending direction middle portion of the lower frame 22 .
